Meet Carly Chivers, RTC

Hi! I’m Carly.

My preferred pronouns are she/her. Becoming a counsellor has been a natural step in my path.

I come from a very physical background and competed as a collegiate athlete at Brandon University. My competitive training set the stage for me to power through most challenges I encountered. However, after a series of injuries that eventually ended my athletic career, I began a different path that called for more interoception and softness within me.

In 2012, after many years of seeking and travelling, I created a yoga and surf retreat company for women with a dear friend. I have had the privilege to share the gifts of experience in nature and connection through embodiment practices. In 2017, with a desire to deepen the level of support I was offering to clients, I returned to my academic studies.

After a three-year program in Transpersonal Psychology and Therapeutic Counselling and subsequent supervision and practicuum hours, I became licensed as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with the Association of Cooperative Counsellors of Canada (#2854). I have been operating a private counselling practice and running Support Groups since 2021.

It is an honour to walk with you on your unique journey of healing and transformation.
